This project is a POSIX-like operating system designed to run unmodified Linux applications in Cloud and High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments. It is based on the LK/Zircon kernel from the Fuchsia/LK project, leveraging its modern microkernel architecture for performance, scalability, and security.
- Linux Compatibility – Run existing Linux applications without modification.
- Cloud & HPC Focus – Optimized for cloud workloads and high-performance computing.
- Scalability – Designed to efficiently handle cloud-scale workloads.
